How to get folder metadata in oracle UCM

This article is an answer to the following question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16414428/how-to-get-folder-metadata-in-oracle-ucm

To get Webcenter Content folder meta data information you can use COLLECTION_INFO or COLLECTION_GET_INFO services, as shown below:

  public static MyUcmFolder getFolderInfoByPath(String path, IdcClient idcClient,
                                               IdcContext userContext) throws Exception{
      DataBinder request = idcClient.createBinder();
      request.putLocal("IdcService", "COLLECTION_GET_INFO");
      request.putLocal("hasCollectionPath", "true");    
      request.putLocal("dCollectionPath", path);
      ServiceResponse response = idcClient.sendRequest(userContext, request);
      DataBinder binder = response.getResponseAsBinder();
      DataObject da = binder.getLocalData();

      ...
      // Here you can get Local Data of UCM Folder, by example:
      String dCollectionPath = da.get("dCollectionPath").toString();


}

As a LocalData you can get by example following folder metadata:

• dCollectionType 
• dCollectionOwner 
• dCollectionName 
• dCollectionEnabled 
• dCollectionMark 
• dCollectionGUID 
• dCollectionInherit 
• dCollectionQueries 
• dParentCollectionID 
• and so on :)
